PAULO Fazenda - Ministro diz que corrupção é ‘cultural’ no Brasil CORREIO BRAZILIENSE - Supersalários de volta à Câmara Continuação da Resenha Diária 22/11/14 3 A ‘ruivinha’ que deu prejuízo Pasadena ganhou apelido após estatal constatar, antes da compra, que ela estava toda enferrujada Eduardo Bresciani BRASÍLIA- A polêmica refinaria de Pasadena já era malvista pela área técnica da Petrobras desde o início do processo de avaliação para a aquisição. O desconforto era tal que a refinaria americana tinha um curioso apelido dados por funcionários antes da realização da compra. O diretor financeiro da Petrobras, Almir Barbassa, que no cargo desde 2003, contou em depoimento à Comissão Interna de Apuração que a refinaria era chamada de “ruivinha”, e explicou o motivo mostrando o desconforto com o negócio: Pasadena estava toda enferrujada. “Pessoas desta sede viajaram para avaliação in loco, e houve reação negativa dessas pessoas, que não gostaram do que viram e apelidaram a refinaria de ruivinha, porque estava tudo enferrujado. Havia sentimento muito negativo, mas também desejo muito forte da área Internacional de que o negócio ocorresse”, disse Barbassa em 13 de maio deste ano. Apontado no relatório da comissão como principal articulador do negócio e responsável em dez das 11 irregularidades levantadas pela investigação interna, o ex-diretor da área Internacional Nestor Cerveró atribuiu o mau estado de conservação à falta de preocupação dos americanos com “aparência”.

  • Eleições 2016 E Novos Rumos Políticos
    Arthur Grünewald Zarantoneli Bastos ELEIÇÕES 2016 E NOVOS RUMOS POLÍTICOS 2016 ELECTIONS AND NEW POLITICAL ROUTES Arthur Grünewald Zarantoneli Bastos1 RESUMO O presente artigo se propõe a explicar a derrota do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) nas últimas eleições municipais no ano de 2016, e a consequente vitoria dos partidos opositores. Como poderíamos rever uma mudança de comportamento dos eleitores na urna eletrônica em comparação com as eleições municipais de 2012, quando o mesmo partido ganhou em importantes cidades do Brasil, por exemplo: São Paulo e em seu tradicional “berço político” o ABC paulista Formado pelas cidades Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo e São Caetano.) e nas eleições seguintes perdeu para partidos opositores, como na cidade de São Paulo capital em primeiro turno para o rival PSDB. A derrota petista ainda pode ser explicada, por conta de uma série de escândalos envolvendo os mais altos líderes da classe política, aonde o Partido dos Trabalhadores foi um dos alvos da maior operação anti-corrupção realizada pela polícia federal chamada de operação “Lava Jato” e também o Impeachment da ex- presidente da república Dilma Vana Rousseff e causando um abalo político na imagem do partido. Ainda tentarei explicar os novos rumos políticos que o Brasil e o mundo podem adotar a partir das próximas eleições. Neste artigo explicarei os temas através de artigos acadêmicos e livros, tentando ser o mais imparcial possível. Palavras-chave: Eleições. Partido do Trabalhadores. Comparação 2012x2016. ABSTRACT This article proposes to explain the defeat of the Workers Party (PT) in the last municipal elections in 2016, and the consequent victory of the opposition parties.

  • José Roberto Mendonça De Barros, Partner in MB Associates Consulting Group
    Interview: José Roberto Mendonça de Barros, Partner in MB Associates Consulting Group --“The tax code has become as much an obstacle to growth as inflation was in the 1980s.”— Brazil’s government has worked hard since the 2008 global financial crisis to support the country’s often hard-pressed manufacturing sector, with a plethora of incentives, policy initiatives and programs, but the time has come, according to a leading expert in industry and foreign trade, to admit the effort has largely failed. At a recent meeting of investors and reporters in São Paulo, José Roberto Mendonça de Barros, a former Brazilian Foreign Trade Secretary, addressed the issues behind Brazil’s industrial malaise. Excerpts follow: • On efforts to revive Brazilian manufacturing: “Today in Brazil, instead of having an industrial strategy, we have an array of disparate industrial policies, including all kinds of aid and incentive programs, and more trade protectionism than at any time in the last 30 years. We have subsidized credit. We have national-content and government procurement rules. But it’s not working and Brazil’s government doesn’t seem to know why and it doesn’t seem to know what to do to get us out of the hole we’re in.” • On approaches to a new industrial policy: “The first problem is macroeconomic policy. There is no piecemeal approach to industrial policy that will work if macroeconomic policies are out of kilter. Today, they are out of kilter in virtually every area—monetary, fiscal and regulatory. The first order of priority is to fix the economic policy mix.” • On the broader array of problems facing industry: “There is no amount of subsidized BNDES credit that is going to compensate for the problems arising from an overvalued currency.
